Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound cherry or grape tomatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 clove garlic, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon freshly minced herbs (I like parsley)
  • salt to taste (I use about 1/2 – 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt)

Method
 

  1. Halve or quarter the cherry or grape tomatoes and place them in a small bowl.
  2. Add the finely grated garlic, olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, minced fresh herbs, and kosher salt to the bowl.
  3. Gently toss all the ingredients together until the tomatoes are evenly coated.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Notes

- For the best flavor, allow the marinated tomatoes to rest for at least 2-3 hours in the fridge. Overnight is even better!
- While parsley is recommended, don't hesitate to experiment with other fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or a mix of your favorites.
- Always bring the marinated tomatoes back to room temperature before serving; this enhances their natural sweetness and overall taste.
